The Swedbank Tallinn Marathon route skirts the Old Town’s iconic walls, offering postcard-perfect views.
2. Coastal beauty meets cultural depth
Your race starts near the Old Town, but the journey takes you beyond—along the scenic Rocca al Mare promenade, where sea breezes meet historic silhouettes. It’s no wonder Tallinn is hailed as one of the most scenic urban marathons in Northern Europe.
